  Hieroglyphs - The Language and...

  The origins of hieroglyphic writing in ancient Egypt trace back to the dawn of Egyptian civilization, around 3100 BCE. Considered one of the oldest writing systems in human history, hieroglyphs emerged as a complex script combining logographic, syllabic, and alphabetic elements. The early development of this script was intricately linked to the formation of a centralized state, where the need for recording and communication became essential. 
  The earliest evidence of hieroglyphic writing appears on pottery, labels, and stone artifacts from the pre-dynastic period. These rudimentary symbols gradually evolved into more structured and standardized forms during the Early Dynastic period. As Egypt unified under a single ruler, the writing system became an essential tool for administration, religious practices, and the consolidation of royal authority. Early inscriptions on monuments and ceremonial palettes reveal a combination of pictorial symbols and phonetic elements, reflecting both artistic expression and linguistic utility. 
  Throughout the Old Kingdom, hieroglyphs developed significantly in both style and function. They became integral to monumental inscriptions, recording achievements of pharaohs and religious texts. The Pyramid Texts, found within the pyramids of the Fifth and Sixth Dynasties, are among the oldest religious texts written in hieroglyphs. These inscriptions aimed to ensure the safe passage of the deceased into the afterlife, indicating that the script held profound religious and cultural significance.

  Critical race theory (CRT), a vital movement and discipline in American legal scholarship, has transformed our understanding of systemic racism. Yet despite insightful analysis revealing the threads of racism embedded in American institutions and society, it has been demonized by opponents at every turn. 
   
   
   
  The Origins of Critical Race Theory weaves together the many sources of critical race theory, recounting the origin story for one of the most insightful and controversial academic movements in U.S. history. In addition to introducing listeners to the tenets and key insights of critical race theory, Martinez and Smith explore the lives and intellectual influences of the movement's founders, shedding light on how the many components of critical race theory eventually formed into a movement. 
   
   
   
  Aja Y. Martinez and Robert O. Smith provide the personal side of critical race theory. They reveal that despite the Marxist menace it has recently been made out to be, critical race theory is an organic extension of the Civil Rights movement, a deeply human and deeply American response to ongoing systemic injustice and inequity. An insightful exploration into the story of a movement, The Origins of Critical Race Theory narrates the hidden influences, fascinating characters, and intellectual struggles that informed critical race theory's inception.
